Which 80s wargames and adventure games do you still play

Just picked up the latest box set and looks to be exactly what I was playing in the early 90s! Any changes I missed?

One of the things BT did right was compartmentalize the advanced game rules by later years in the game setting. So, succession wars and clan invasion (which is what I play 80% of the time) is still the same. Dark Age and Ilclan the modern eras adds a lot of technology but the base is all original.

The biggest thing you may have missed is “Alpha Strike” which is a modern miniatures take on BT. It simplifies the game greatly but allows for much quicker games regardless of the size of your forces. Not my bag but it’s a popular alternative today giving folks more ways to play.

I've played a few games of the old Avalon Hill Dune. Probably try to get another going sometime soon, but adulting makes scheduling difficult.

Ones I would play if I could are World in Flames (WW2) and Empires in Arms (Napoleonic.) But ideally they require 5-7 players and lots of spare time.
